Revised Action Plan for

Industrial Cluster in

Severally Polluted Areas

औरंगाबाद Aurangabad

Revise Action Plan for Aurangabad-2020

Maharashtra Pollution Control Board

A. PREAMBLE:

In 2009, the Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF), Govt. of India

in association with Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), New Delhi and

Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi have carried out an

environmental assessment of industrial clusters across the country named

Comprehensive Environmental Pollution Index (CEPI) with the aim of

identifying polluted industrial clusters & prioritizing planning needs for

intervention to improve the quality of environment in these industrial clusters

and the nation as a whole. For this, CPCB has selected 88 industrial clusters in

country out of which 43 Nos. of industrial clusters in 16 states.

The industrial clusters/ areas having aggregated CEPI scores of 70 and

above were considered critically polluted clusters/ areas and those with scores

above 60 were classified as Severely Polluted; further detailed investigations

were carried out in terms of the extent of environmental damage and

formulation of appropriate remedial action plan.

Again in year 2017-2018 CPCB carried out monitoring and found that,

number of identified polluted areas in country went up to 100. The said number

included 38 Critically Polluted (CEPI Score above 70), 31 Severely Polluted

(CEPI Score between 60-70) and reaming 31 as Other Polluted (CEPI Score

below 60).



In identified 100 polluted areas Maharashtra having 9 Nos. of area

namely Tarapur (CEPI Score 93.69), Chandrapur (CEPI Score 76.41),

Aurangabad (CEPI Score 69.85), Dombivali (CEPI Score 69.67), Nashik (CEPI

Score 69.49), Navi Mumbai (CEPI Score 66.32), Chembur (CEPI Score 54.67),

Pimpri-Chinchwad (CEPI Score 52.15) & Mahad (CEPI Score 47.12).

Government of Maharashtra, under Chairmanship of Principal Secretary,

Environment Department, GoM constituted State Level Committee and one

local committee at Regional Officer level at each regions. Also Member

Secretary of Board conducted several review meetings with all stakeholders at a

regular interval to review the status of implementation of CEPI action plans

Earlier CEPI score calculated by CPCB in 2009-2010 Aurangabad was

comes under Critically Polluted Area with overall CEPI score 77.44, but after

effective implementation CEPI action plans overall all CEPI score came down

as per monitoring done by CPCB in 2017-2018 and now Aurangabad identified

as Severely Polluted industrial area with overall CEP Score below 70. The

proposed action plan will help to reduce Air CEPI score below 60.



B. Aurangabad:

i. Area Details including brief history (background information)

Aurangabad city was founded by Malik Ambar in 1610 A.D. From

ancient times, Aurangabad has been a place of great importance due to its

location on the famous Silk Route that traversed across the breadth of Asia to

reach Europe. The city occupies an important place on the tourist’s map of the

world. The city is festooned all around with an amazing variety of monuments

such as rock-cut temples in the mountain ravines of Ellora and Ajanta, strategic

forts such as the one at Daulatabad and mosques and mausoleums with their

minarets and domes such as Bibi-Ka-Maqbara. Hence it deserves the epithet as

tourist district of India.

Aurangabad city typifies the landscape and the climatic conditions of the

entire Marathwada region and is the Divisional Head Quarters of the

Marathwada Region.

ii. Location

Aurangabad District is located mainly in the Godavari River Basin and

partly in the Tapi River Basin. The district is from 19 to 20 degrees north

longitude and 74 to 76 degrees east latitude. Aurangabad city is situated on the

bank of river Kham a tributary of the Godavari River. The entire city is situated

at the latitude of 19053’50” N and longitude of 75022’46” E. It is located 512



meters above Sea Level. The city is surrounded by hills of the Vindhya Ranges

and the river Kham passes through it.

iii. Total Population and sensitive receptors (hospitals,

educational institutions, courts, etc.) residing in the area

comprising of geographical area of the cluster and its impact

zone

The Aurangabad Municipal Council was formed in 1936 when the geographical

area of the town was 54.40 sq.km. In 1982, the Council was converted into

Municipal Corporation including 18 nearby villages measuring 138.5 sq.km.

area. Due to the rapid industrialization and urbanization, the city emerged as an

educational hub, commercial center, tourist attraction etc. Aurangabad has

diverse economic activities ranging from industries, services to tourism and

education. There is a drastic change in the city population and Aurangabad city

emerged as the fastest growing city in Asia. The population in 2001 was about

8,72,667, which represents a decadal growth of 79.32. (Source: Census of India

2001 & D.P. Report, Aurangabad).

v. Eco-geological features Impact Zones the area comprising of

geographical area of the cluster and its impact zone

Aurangabad city is situated on the bank of river Kham a tributary of the

Godavari River. The city is surrounded by hills of the Vindhya Ranges and the

river Kham passes through it. The city stands in the Dudhana valley between

Lacken Vera Range on the North and Satara Hills on the South. Sukhna river is

one of the main tributaries of Dudhana river, which originates from

neighbouring hills near Kankura village and flows along the Chikalthana MIDC

Area in nearby Aurangabad city. The city occupies very uneven ground. Annual

temperature of Aurangabad ranges from 9oC to 40oC. Average annual rainfall

is 725 mm. The geological formations of the area are characterized by the

Deccan traps (Upper cretaceous to lower Eocene). The granitic rocks have given

rise to red as well as black cotton soils. Major part of this area has deep black

soil derived from the trap rock. Certain variations occur due to exposure and

protection. A mixture of late rite and black soil, for example, is encountered in

the eastern parts together with sandy soil along river banks. Most of the hill tops

are bare or covered by coarse gravel while the low-lying area accumulates clay

and loam.

EFFORTS TAKEN FOR POLLUTION REDUCTION:

Water Environment

Existing infrastructure facilities – water quality monitoring network, ETPs, CETP,

Sewage Treatment Plant of industry (STPs), surface drainage system, effluent conveyance

channels/outfalls, etc.

The MIDC Area, Waluj is established in the year 1982-83 and located on

Aurangabad-Pune State Highway at a distance of about 20 km. from Aurangabad City. The

total area of MIDC is about 1520 Hectares. There are about 1400 No’s of industries which

cover all small, medium and large scale industries. Most of the large and medium scale units

are polluting in nature and the major water consumers as well as major effluent generating

units. In MIDC, mainly engineering (electroplating and surface treatment), chemical and bulk

drugs, breweries, pharmaceuticals, etc. are also established. The total quantity of effluent

generation from units located in MIDC Waluj Area is 10.0 MLD which includes 7.0 MLD

industrial and 3 MLD domestic effluents.

Large and medium scale industries are having own treatment facility consists of

primary, secondary and tertiary treatment. Most of these industries have adequate land for the

disposal of their treated effluent. Small scale industries have provided primary treatment

facility and connected to CETP.

A common effluent treatment plant is established to overcome this scenario in Waluj

MIDC. The plant is ready for commissioning. Work of collection pipelines from all the

industries for collection of effluent from individual industry is completed.



Pollution control measures installed by Industries

All the large scale and medium scale industries have provided primary and secondary

treatment facility for treatment of the trade effluent generated. Board has persuaded large

industries to adopt cleaner technologies. Following are the industries who have adopted

cleaner technologies:

Chrome recovery plant has been installed and operated by M/s. Metalman Industries.

Metal recover plant has been provided by M/s. Endurance group of Companies and M/s.

Durvoalve industry.

RO system is being installed and operated by M/s. Orchid Chemicals, and M/s.

Radico distillery. Multi effect evaporators are being used by M/s. Radico distillery and M/s.

Pranav Agrotech distillery. Raamri, M/s Skol brewery and M/s. Foster (I) Ltd. have also

provided RO system and are generating biogas from there UASB plant. M/s. Canpac

industries have provided central fume extraction system and these fumes are treated by

thermal oxidation system.

Air Environment

Existing infrastructure facilities – Ambient air quality monitoring network

Air quality is monitored at 4 locations in Aurangabad on a regular basis. Three stations

are being funded through National Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Program and one

station is operated by the Archaeological Department. The parameters monitored at these

stations are SO2, NOX, SPM and RSPM. Ambient air quality monitoring is also carried

out randomly by the Board’s officers in the industrial clusters. Large and medium scale

industries are directed to carry out ambient air quality monitoring and submit the report to

the Board regularly.



Stack monitoring of process stack and boiler stacks is regularly carried out by the Board.

It is mandatory for the industries to monitor stack emissions and submit report to the

Board.

Parameters such as VOCs, benzene, PAH, metals etc. are monitored in continuous

ambient air quality monitoring system.

Pollution control measures installed by the individual sources of pollution

The Board has laid down specific conditions to all industries like:

a) To provide specific height to their boilers on the basis of fuel consumption.

b) To provide dust collection system like dust collectors, cyclone dust collectors, bag

house filters, electrostatic precipitators etc. on a case to case basis.

c) To provide adequate scrubbing system for process emissions on case to case basis.

All the industries in the industrial clusters have provided stacks of adequate height as per the

conditions laid down in the consent. Scrubbers for the process emissions have been provided

by large and medium and some small scale industries.

Due to improper maintenance and operation of air pollution control systems, high

concentration of pollutants is observed.

M/s. Canpac industry in Waluj MIDC has provided central fume extraction system. These

fumes are then treated by thermal oxidation. Major industries like M/s. Orchid Chemicals and

other large bulk drug industries have provided solvent recovery systems. This has lead to

substantial reduction in the VOC emissions. The Board has made it mandatory for industries

using coal / bagasse / biomass / briquettes as fuel to provide dust collectors and wet scrubbers

to limit emissions.



Land Environment

the following recommendations are made for improving land environment:

1. Site-specific land application of wastewater needs to be adopted. Soil characteristics

determine the amount of wastewater to be applied to the land. Hence, it is

recommended before applying the wastewater, soil characteristics must be known.

2. The modeling studies indicate that the application rate of wastewater should be less

than the average vertical hydraulic conductivity of soil to avoid ground water

contamination due to leaching.

3. For land application, the characteristics of the wastewater determine the quality of

wastewater and amount to be used on land. Each type of wastewater contains one or

more constituents that limit its application. land disposal criteria with respect to EC,

TDS, sodium, COD and BOD as prescribed by State and Central boards for pollution

control. They must follow the regulations strictly. Therefore, it is recommended to

establish a CETP with appropriate unit operations and process which can produce

effluent suitable in all respects for land disposal.

4. To avoid further deterioration of soil and groundwater qualities, effective utilization

of treated wastewater for plantation should be done at wastewater disposal sites after

meeting the land disposal criteria.

5. The soil's capacity to use, retain, or reduce the undesirable effects of wastewater

varies significantly according to the physical, chemical, and biological properties of

the soil and the characteristics of the wastewater. Thus, the development of a land

treatment system must be tailored to the characteristics of the specific site and the

specific wastewater. Industries like Garware Polyester Ltd., Wockhardt Biotech Park



Ltd., Innotech Pharma Ltd., Paschim Chemical Pvt. Ltd., Ariane Orgachem Ltd.,

Fosters India Ltd., and Aurangabad Breweries Ltd. possess different types of soil and

hence have different soil characteristics. Recommended hydraulic loading (quantity

and schedule) of wastewater should be carefully implemented by these industries to

avoid further deterioration of soils.

6. Based on lysimeter studies, it is recommended that the treated wastewater having

BOD load of 30 and 60 mg/L can be disposed on land with suitable plantation at

optimum hydraulic loading of 150 m3/ha/day during pre-monsoon and 125 m3/ha/day

during post monsoon respectively.

7. It is also recommended that the plant growth was the best among all treatments with

the composite treated wastewater having BOD load of 30 mg/L. Hence, this is more

suitable for land application.

8. Groundwater studies at Vittawa and Ranjangaon areas, which are in the vicinity of

MIDC, Waluj and percolation tank showed that dug wells, bore wells and hand pumps

in and around were severely polluted. The percolation tank (stagnant water reservoir)

is nearer to the cluster of industries such as Lilason Industries Ltd., Innotech Pharma

Ltd., Aurangabad Breweries Ltd., Paschim Chemicals Pvt. Ltd., Ariane Orgachem

Pvt. Ltd. and Endurance system India Pvt. Ltd. The wastewaters from these industries

move to percolation tank which acts as a groundwater recharge source. This might be

the cause of groundwater pollution of nearby areas. To avoid further groundwater

pollution, the percolation tank (stagnant water reservoir) should be filled.



9. The lysimeter investigations for assessing the feasibility of the wastewater application

on land need to be performed to assess the amount of wastewater to be applied at a

specific site.

10. Land disposal sites should be monitored regularly to assess the soil and groundwater

quality in the area.

11. Each of the alternatives discussed above can go wrong if a site specific waste

management and monitoring programme is not implemented. The results of

monitoring must be reviewed periodically and the management plan may be modified,

if necessary.

Green Belt

Green belt development is proposed in Waluj MIDC around the villages shown in the

diagram below to reduce the impact on inhabitants.

Specific schemes

a) GPS system is being implemented for vehicles carrying hazardous and bio-medical

wastes.

b) Most of large industries and some commercial complexes have provided sewage

treatment plant before disposal into municipal sewers / drains.

Public Awareness & Training Programmes

MPCB at head office level is carrying out regular awareness program through media like

newspapers, television etc. The Regional office also conduct social program for mass

awareness in Aurangabad region. Training is imparted to the Board’s staff as well as the

industries representatives. Seminars with Doctors for proper implementation of BMW Rules

have been conducted by MPCB. Training to Police personnel have imparted by MPCB for

noise level monitoring.

Conclusion:

With compare to earlier CEPI score calculated by CPCB in 2009-2010

Aurangabad Industrial Cluster was ranking at no 17 with overall CEPI score

77.44, but after effective implementation CEPI score of Air, water & land are

reduce and now as per CPCB 2017-2018 monitoring report Aurangabad

industrial area is out of critically polluted industrial area and overall CEPI score

below 70. All stakeholder taking effort for same.

State Level Monitoring Committee, under Chairmanship of Principal

Secretary, Environment Department constituted vide GR dtd. 31/12/1018.

Till date M.P.C.Board under Chairmanship of Member Secretary

conducted various reviews meeting with all stakeholders for effective

implementation of action plan and constituted monitoring team at respective

Regional Officer for visit.

Also Hon’ble Principle Secretary, Environment Department , GoM and

Hon’ble Chief Secretary, GoM has conducted time to time meeting to review

progress.

The proposed action plan is comprehensive and each activity under Air,

Water and land considered for achieving environmental standards and will help

to reduce Air CEPI score below 60. The all stakeholders like MIDC authority,



Industrial associations, District administrator and Local body contribution for

implementation of action plan will help to achieve reduction of CEPI score.
